In addition to the handy river bus connection near the hotel and the Emirates Air Line cable car over the River Thames, you can also cross the river through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, a 10-minute bus ride away from the hotel. Opened in 1902, the tile-lined tunnel under the River Thames extends from its entrance in a redbrick, glazed dome near the Cutty Sark ship museum across to Island Gardens.
